Instructions

De-chill - Take the burrata out of the fridge and leave on the counter for 30 minutes, to take the fridge-chill out of it. Keep it in the water in the tub.
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).
Roast 10 min - Toss the cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, eschalot, salt and pepper (in a bowl, or on a tray). Spread on a tray. Roast 10 minutes until softened but not collapsing.
Vinegar - Gently push the tomatoes to one end of the tray. Drizzle over vinegar. No need to mix.
Tomatoes - Carefully transfer tomatoes to a plate, spreading them out in a single layer.
Burrata - Gently (GENTLY!!) drain the water out of the tub and roll the burrata out into your hand. Place a burrata on top of tomatoes.
Finish - Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of good extra virgin olive oil all over the plate. Dollop pesto randomly all over. Sprinkle with salt flakes and basil.
Serve with crusty bread on the side!
Eating!
Nominate a person to do the cutting honours. Break into the burrata with a serving spoon. Let the centre ooze out. Make sure you scoop up a bit of everything, pile onto bread and eat! Don't forget to mop the plate clean. The juices are the best part.
